Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the conflict between two prior decisions regarding the interpretation of 'legality and propriety' under Section 15(6) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1973. The Court held that the revisional authority is entitled to reappraise evidence while considering findings of the first appellate court, thus overruling the restrictive interpretation from Rukmini Amma Saradamma v. Kallyani Sulochana. The matter was referred to a larger bench for further clarification on this legal principle.
